GAS STOVE. i

Application filed January 20, 1923, Serial No. 613,916. Renewed December20, 1923.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ARNOLD F. GLASS, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Birmingham, in the county of Jefferson and State ofAlabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements.

in Gas Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new anduseful improvement in gas stoves,having yfor its object to design a stove which is comparativelyinexpensive in construction, in which maximum efficiency is obtainedfrom the heat of combustion of gas burners disposed inder a closed tophaving remo-vable stove A further object of my invention is to increasethe economy of'operationv of the stove by providing in addition to themain large burners in the fire chamber, a smaller supplemental gasburner disposed in the flue between the top of the oven andthe top ofthe stove 'and in line with an eye, which supplemental burner is adaptedto supply heat for a cooking vessel in the eye and additionally to keepthe oven hot when it is not desired to utilize the main burners.

My invention also comprises other novel details of construction andarrangements of parts which are hereinafter more particularly describedin the following specification and set forth in the appended claims,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is avertical longitudinal cross-sectional view through the stove.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view v taken on the line 2-2 ofFig. 1.

Similar reference numerals referto similar parts throughout thedrawings.

It being the object of my invention io attain the advantageous resultsin mind by the simplest, most durable and least expensive construction,I have shown a typical gas stove embodying my invention comprising a'rectangular sheet metal body 1 having a top marginal flange 2 and abottom 3. rlihe stove has an opening l inits bottom below the lirechamber 5, which is shown disposed between the left hand end wall and avertical trans-` verse partition 6 which forms the left hand end wall ofthe o-ven 7 and extends from the front wall 8 to the back wall 9 of thestove and is suitably connectedV thereto andy to the bottom 3. This wall6 serves with the horizontal and vertical partitions 10, 1l and 12chamber 5. v n l yprovide a supplemental burner 38 located to form thefour walls which define the o-ven 7, and said partitions are so spacedfrom the stove walls as to form a flue comprising a top portion '13leading from the fire chamber over the ovenrto a down flue portion 14which enters a bottom iiue portion 15 returning below the oven to thepartition 6. `The bottom oven wall 12 in its front corner adjacent tothe wall 6 has a series of holes or heat openings 16 which are formed ina perforated section which is preferably not integral with the bottom,but-,as shown in Fig. 2is formed by a separate plate'17 detachablyconnected 'to the bottom 12 by bolts lor by catches 86 which can beoperated to readily release the plate so that it can be removed.

I provide a stacker 'iiue 19 which is. suitably y connected to `the backwall 9 ofthe stove and extends from 'top to bottom 4thereof,"said' fluebeing in register with a slot or heat outlet opening 20 'in the backwall of theoven,`

I provide sliding dampers 23 "and 24 regis-y tering respectively withthe openings 2O and 21 and connected together by a strap or bar 25. Bothdampers are adapted to be operated by the 'single rod 26 which risesabove the top of the stove and hasa series of teeth or shoulders 27thereon which will engage thestove ktop 28 and hold the dampers in setposition. The dampers are of such size and `sie connected that wheneither is fully open the other is fully closed and vice versa.

The stove top 28is preferably formed as a casting having' the customarystove eyes 29 therein closed by removable lids 30 and it issuitablybolted or connected tothe body {ianges 2. The stove is supported by.suitable legs 31 and is provided with main,L burners 32 preferablyextending aproximately from front toy rear of the stove and disposed inthe yupper portion of the fire Inaddition to these burners I in theflue'13 above the oven and disposed immediately below a stove eye` 29.

In the front wall of the oven is a hinged p door 34. The burners 32 and38 are preferably connected to the gas main 35 through the front wall'of the stove and have 'the usual air and gas control elements which neednot be described.

ln operation, ,having assembled the Stove in the manner described, forordinary cooking purposes where it is desired to use a number of theeyes to cook on top of the stove and in addition to use the oven, themain burners 32 are used, the products of combustion therefrom risingand passing to the right through the iue 13 above the oven and down flue111 at the right of the oven and back forward through flue 15 towardsthe Jfront Yleft hand corner of the oven and thence passing up throughthe perforations 16 in the oven bottom 17 and through outlet 2O to thestack. It outlet 20 is closed `and outlet 2l is open, the heat will bediverted from the oven andV will flow under the oven to the outlet 21and thence up the stack. In intermediate positions the dampers 23 and 2Aregulate the exact amount of heat desired to be passed through the oven.By removing plate 17 the bottom flue 15 can be cleaned or' all matterthat may collect therein.

Having thus described my invention,

what l claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1.Y A gas burning stove having at one side a fire chamber with gasburners therein, a closed top for thevstove having removable lids,partitions ,forming within the stove an oven, therpartitions beingspaced from the top and'bottomwalls and the end wall of the stove remoteJfrom the tire chamber to form fa iue about the oven, the partition yinlet ports disposed in the forward corner of the oven bottom adjacentto the tire chamber, a stack having heat outlets leading from the ovenand from the flue below the oven, and damper means to control saidoutlet ports.

2. A gas stove in accordance with claim 1, in which the heat ports inthe oven bottom are formed in a removable plate forming part of thebottom.

3. A gas burning stove comprising a closed top provided with removablelids anda bottom, vertical and horizontal connecting partitions in thestove body which define therein an oven spaced from the top, bottom andend walls of the body, a lire chamber at one side of the oven havinglarge capacity gas burners therein, a small supplemental gas burnerarranged in the space above the oven and disposed under one of theremovable top lids, a partition interposed between the Hue space belowthe oven and the lire chamber, a plurality of heat ports opening throughthe bottom of the oven, a stack having a connection with the line spacebelow the oven and with the upper portion of the' oven, and damper meansto regulate the admission of the products of combustion through saidports to the stack. Y Y In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
